my son retrieved the manual from the trash can in time! The problem is that the phone itself has the number DECT 6.0 printed on it, but in fact it is a DECT 1580 so I didn't know where to get help.

You hit "mute" on the handset, then 5 to stop pre-recorded message playback, then 8 to start recording, then either 5 or 8 to stop recording.

Why didn't I think of that?
